Relax in your elegant surroundings and gaze out the picture window, watching the passing scenery unfold and contemplating the gastronomic journey ahead. Within minutes, one of our liveried Stewards will carefully pour you a sparkling Mimosa cocktail as you study celebrated Head Chef Matthew Green’s sumptuous menu.
Ahead lies a journey back to the Golden Days of rail travel, a time when nothing was too good for the pampered passengers. As the date of your journey draws near our Executive Head Chef and his team will be hard at work in the kitchen carriage preparing a sumptuous three-course brunch and six-course dinner, accompanied by our Sommelier’s choice of wine. Each course boasts the finest seasonal ingredients from the British Isles, classic and innovative dishes are crafted in our recently refurbished kitchen carriage.
En route to Scone Palace a delicious three-course brunch is served as the glorious countryside passes by. On arrival, follow the platform guides as they accompany you to our private transfer which will escort you to the palace. Spend the afternoon learning the history of the palace with a guided tour and then take time to explore on your own.
After an incredible day we rejoin the Northern Belle for a Champagne reception, before tucking into a sumptuous six-course dinner during the leisurely journey home.
Scone Palace (pronounced Scoon), poised above the RiverTay with the Grampian Mountains in the background, has been the historic crowning place of Scottish kings since at least the Ninth Century.
Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Robert the Bruce and Charles II were among the 42 monarchs crowned here on the Stone of Scone, which was also known as the Stone of Destiny. The original stone has now been moved to Edinburgh Castle, but it has been replaced by a replica where visitors can pose for photos. Originally the site of an early Christian church, the Palace, built in red sandstone with a castellated roof, has been the home of the Earls of Mansfields for the last 400 years. Take time to stroll around the nature trails in the 100 acres of woodland gardens with their giant redwoods and noble firs. Then see if you can find your way out of the star-shaped maze, planted in a mixture of copper and green beech to resemble the Mansfield tartan.
